Frank de Boer is ready for the challenge of coaching Inter Milan

It didn’t take a long time for Inter Milan to find a successor for Roberto Mancini as it was confirmed to the public on August 8 that the Italian coach left the club on a mutual agreement and 1 day later it was announced that Frank de Boer was the man selected to replace Mancini and guide Inter Milan through the season of 2016-17 of the Serie A.


The Dutch coach has already outlined what his main aim for this new season is and it’s to qualify for the UEFA Champions League which means that Frank de Boer is hoping to secure a top 3 position in the Italian League, Serie A.

“Our aim is to qualify for the Champions League; there are no two ways about it. We’ll have to see what else we can do, but we’ll give it a go. With good organization and the right mentality, you can achieve anything in football. It’s going to be hard on all fronts, though, because Roma, Napoli, Lazio, Fiorentina and AC Milan are great sides and warrant respect.” Inter Milan’s recently appointed coach Frank de Boer said.

Every top European league appears to be dominated by 1 particular club or a small group of around 3 clubs.

Marcus Rashford gets Praised by Morgan Schneiderlin

Morgan Schneiderlin believes that striker Marcus Rashford has the ability to become a star at Manchester United.

The 18-year-old came through the ranks at the club but few would have imagined his astronomical rise to stardom in the matter of a few weeks. The young striker made his debut for the Red Devils only towards the end of February. However, he grabbed headlines almost immediately after scoring twice in the 5-1 victory over FC Midtjylland. This was immediately followed by two goals and an assist in the 3-2 win against Arsenal.

These games quickly catapulted him to stardom and he has never been on the wane since then. Even though there were suggestions that he should be dropped after going without a goal for five matches, manager Louis Van Gaal kept his faith in the player and started him for the crucial Manchester derby last weekend. Rashford returned to scoring ways after a 16 minute goal against their arch rivals. The boy from Manchester was scoring against one of United’s biggest rivals and this has seen him adored by the supporters. Schneiderlin joined United only in the summer but he has already seen enough of Rashford to suggest that he could become the next star at the club.

Stefano Pioli has extended his contract with the Italian Serie A outfit

After a brilliant campaign with Lazio, manager Stefano Pioli has extended his contract with the Italian Serie A outfit. The team almost managed to finish above their arch rivals Roma in the league table.

This was an extremely commendable achievement, but the real bonus comes in the form of a qualification to the Champions League. The 49-year-old replaced Vladimir Petkovic as well as a manager last summer. He had arrived from a brilliant campaign with Bologna, but Lazio were not expected to reach the third place by any means. Aside from this league position, Lazio also reached the Coppa Italia final where they were beaten by Juventus.

The club have confirmed that the contract of the coach has been extended until 2018. Previously, his deal was set to expire in two years. This is seen as a huge reward for his work. Lazio could have also qualified for the Champions League next season automatically if they had taken more than two wins that they managed in the last five matches. After having extended the contract of their manager, the club will now shift to the focus towards retaining the top players like Felipe Anderson. The 22-year-old has been linked with moves to Manchester United and Chelsea.

Alexandre Pato is playing for Sao Paulo on a loan deal

Alexandre Pato is playing for Sao Paulo on a loan deal which extends until 2015 but the Brazilian club is rumored to be attempting to keep the 25 year old player on a permanent deal.  Corinthians is the club where Pato will be returning to at the end of the season but things could change if Sao Paulo is truly interested in keeping him.

The Brazilian attacker has scored 6 goals in 9 appearances for Sao Paulo for this season as he started this year in superb fashion after managing to score twice when his club played against Audax. Pato also managed to secure a hat-trick when Sao Paulo faced off with Capivariano.

So far, it has been a very impressive start of the year for AlexandrePato and this is one of the main reasons on why Sao Paulo is expected to sign the player with an extended contract.

Pato recently has even been attracting the attention from England as Everton and Hull City are reportedly interested in signing the Brazilian forward on a loan deal.

The Premier League side Everton is in search of a player that can replace Samuel Eto’o and AlexandrePato popped up in the watch-list of Roberto Martinez. The main issue that emerged in attempting to sign the Brazilian forward was his high wages as he earns around £60,000 each week and this salary might just be too steep for Hull City or Everton.

The first and only major European club that AlexandrePato joined was Ac.Milan back in 2007 when the Italian club signed Pato when he was just 17 years old and the club even had to wait for almost a year before they could utilize him in official Serie A matches.

Messi – Widest Topic to Debate

Lionel Messi is almost always a topic of discussion as the Argentine player is a major figure in the world of football but recently he has been talked about more than usual as he is being linked with a move outside of Barcelona as the player is believed to not have a healthy relationship with certain staff members of the Spanish club and he was being rumored to leave the club but Messi has stepped up and denied all of those rumors and reports.

“I have heard lots of things being said about me before and now. They make it look like I am the one who is in charge here, when I am just another player. I have never demanded anything but to stay because I don’t have any intention of going.I heard people say that my dad had spoken to Chelsea, to City. It’s all lies.”Messi said as he shut down all of the recent rumors that have been spreading concerning his future with Barcelona.
